Guess who's back,
Back again!
KR's back,
Tell a friend!




Good Lord I hate self-induced hiatuses (hiatii?)! Staying away from posting is like telling TDT not to wear pink, JudgeJR not to listen to Paris Hilton, Fins not to drink, and Tommies not to suck... it's possible, but hard as hell and doesn't happen too often!


+k to all the regulars and the newbies and what the hell, even TDT!


I'm done with Boards and off on a self-imposed drinking binge from now until I leave for San Diego at 10AM Monday. Wish I could make it to the Stiftungfestivities, but it's looking like between weddings (not my own) and Navy rotations in San Diego and Virginia, my first shot at a Stiffyfest will be when we dominate the Baptists 11/10.





Funny story before I head off into my drinking binge... right after I go grab a beer... be right back.

I demand an apology from TDT when he said that the Johnnies could beat the Gusties:

I would have thought that this FoxNews story would have been the one to catch your attention!

Don't think I'd like that dude, Bennie. I mean, why would anyone criticize beer?

[Kilted Rat]

OK, I'm back. Had to wait until noon to crack my beer since it's not a football, fishing or hunting day.


Anyway, here's where I've been, if you don't feel like reading my incessant pointless rambling, you should know better than to read any of my posts anyway but definitely read the part beyond "Here's where the funny part starts"

During my hiatus, I went to Ohio and watched my 13 year old bro for a week so my parents could go on a cruise for their anniversary. Sunday the 19th of August I flew back to Des Moines and drove to MN to Mrs KR's parents' place in scenic Spicer.

Tuesday I flew out to Philadelphia to pay $1000+ to see pretend patients with pretend illnesses to prove I'm not a complete idiot and that I can speak English. Flight out there was supposed to leave at 4 PM, got delayed by weather, Bush coming in, runways being under repair, Bush leaving, etc. Long story short, got to Philly at about Midnight instead of 7PM, finally got to bed at 2AM to wake up at 6AM for a 8 hour test. Made it back to MN that night ironically being delayed and getting into MSP at Midnight. Spent 18.5 of 33 hours in airports or on planes. Did manage to drink a half dozen coronas in the airport when my flight back to MN was delayed.

Get to Spicer about 2 AM, climb into bed, try to convince MrsKR it was a good time for loving, quickly realize she disagrees and go to sleep.

Stayed there and spent pretty much all my time studying until Weds when we drive back down to Iowa for my board exam today. Since we had driven up separately, we had 2 cars there to get back.

Since MrsKR's car has cruise control (and air conditioning that works) unlike my 150k dented dream, she led.


Here's where the funny part starts:

About 60 miles into Iowa on corn-bordered I-35 we're cruising along at about 75 MPH in a 70. Mrs KR is in the passing lane passing a semi and I'm right behind her. She starts to motion something and I can't tell what she wants so I creep up on her tail. Right about then we pass 2 Iowa State Highway Patrol cars in the median, 1 of them pulls out and starts in our direction He gets in right behind me and I can see in my rear-view he's radioing my License plate. Of course, the lights come on and he pulls me over

He comes up to the passenger side window, so I have to lean over and crank it down. State Patrol Man (SPM)"Reason I pulled you over is because you were going a bit fast and you were right on the tail of that car in front of you."
KR "Sorry officer, that's my wife and I thought she was motioning something to me so I was trying to get closer to see what she wanted."
SPM "That was your wife?"
KR "Yeah, she's pulled over on the shoulder up there waiting for me."
SPM "Oh, well in that case I'll just give you a couple of warnings and get you on your way. Come back to my car for a second."

At this point, I'm pumped to be getting just warnings. I climb into the passenger side of his air-conditioned cruiser and he starts doing the computer work. He asks why I have Ohio plates and I explain to him I am going to Med school down here in Iowa.  "Know any kids from Central?"
I listed off a half dozen people in my class, all of whom either graduated a year ahead of him or the year before including a couple guys he played football with.

He looks at my car and says, "Did you go to St. John's?"
I fought back the urge to say "no, I was in their bookstore once and really liked the bumper stickers." and replied "Yup, graduated in 2004."

He smirks and says "You guys always kick the sh*t out of us in the playoffs. We basically know our season is over when we have to play you."

I laugh and he says he thinks Central plays in Minnesota the first week of the season and he's not sure if they play Bethel or UST (who sucks). I said "I am pretty sure you play UST."

He replies, "Thank God it's not Bethel, they are a bunch of cheap-shotting bastards! When we played them in 2004, I got hit and grabbed in the balls so much I thought I was a Backstreet Boy at an all-girls school.

All I could do was smile and say "Yeah, I've heard that about them!

[BDB]

Fabulous story and welcome back KR! 

It's not quite the same without you.  8)

That's a great story, KR.

Welcome back.

Kilted R,

Was that story fabricated?  That is like something you'd tell me after consuming 27 Hamms in a blurry haze in St. Joe...

Cheers,

That is classic! Great story!

I have a tendency to speed a bit, not horribly, but well...a little! Everytime I pass a speed trap and I am going the speed limit, I have to fight the urge to smile and waive. That probably wouldn't be a good idea...

Even I am not creative enough to make up something like that!




Bennie,
I'm never going the posted speed limit, so I'll never have the chance. The only time I think I have ever gone below the speed limit is back when TDT and I drove the Link and even then it was only because that was some of those old clunkers couldn't top 55!

[Buckman]

Welcome back +KR!   Hope your boards were as easy as the Tommie women.  Great story too!

That is what Bloody Mary's are for, KR!!    Welcome back!

That's a great story KR!

It's funny how people like to make stuff up to sound cool (i.e. the officer probably experienced one instance of cheapness (which I'm not excusing) and now it's "When we played them in 2004, I got hit and grabbed in the balls so much I thought I was a Backstreet Boy at an all-girls school.")
